Tn every congressional district
where it is called for by 1200

be presented at the polls and if
carried will oblige Congressmen
to support federation; if enough
districts in Massachusetts up-
hold the question, the decision
will be binding on senators elect-

New Dean of Freshmen
Is Miss J. MePherrin,
Former Naval Officer
Mrs. Wilma A. Kerby-Miller
has resigned her position as
Dean of Freshman and Chair-
man of the Board of Admissions
at Wellesley to become Dean of
Instruction at Radcliffe. Mrs.
Horton announced in Chapel
May 18. Miss Jeanette MePher-
rin, formerly Director of Ad-
missions and Counselor to
Freshmen at Scripps College,
will take over the office of Dean
of Freshmen here July 1; a new
Director of Admissions has not
yet been appointed.
Mrs. Kerby-Miller "came to
Wellesley as the wife of a new
instructor in English Composi-
tion in 1939," Mrs. Horton de-
clared. After teaching in the
Departments of English Compo-
sition and English Literati
she was appointed to her ad-
ministrative posts in 1942. "She
undertook the work with imag-
ination, insight, wisdom, good
humor." Mrs. Horton remarked,
"and all the other virtues of
which we wish Radcliffe had
never heard!" The position of
Dean of Instruction is a new
office at Radcliffe; Mrs. Kerby-
Miller will be working with the
new curriculum there, and with
the new advisory system for
upperclass stud.
Before coming to Wellesley.
Mrs. Kerby-Miller was instruct-
or in English at the University
of Chicago and adviser in the
College. She received her B.A.
from Rockford College, her M.A.
and Ph.D. from the University
of Chicago.
Miss MePherrin. in addition to
her position at Scripps College,
had taught at Kent School in
Denver and at Reed College. She
has had a fellowship for study
at Sevres, France, and was an
officer in the U. S. Naval Re-
serve for two years and a half.
Miss MePherrin received her
B.A. from Scripps College and
her M.A. from Claremont Col-
lege. Her sister is a graduate
of Wellesley, class of 1930.

On April 30, 1918, when the
organization was constituted as
an "agreement between the fac-
ulty and students of Wellesley
College concerning the Welles-
ley College Government Associa-
tion", it was made up of a two-
house legislature and judiciary.
The first Senate meeting, April
29 of that year, was held in
Pierce Memorial Room of the
Library with President Pendle-
ton attending. Most important
issue of that first year seemed
to be wartime curtailment of stu-
dent activities with clubs asked
to "consider justification of their
existence" and societies required
to modify their programs. It
was seriously suggested that

Board also voted six additional
appointments to the faculty.

a trustee, is Director of Public

"TOWN MEETING"
In this week's News, the President of Col-
lege Government presents an outline of the
existing structure oJ the organization and rails
for an all-college ' Town Meeting" tomorrow
to discuss it. Most of as, even during these
last few days of quizzes and papers, should
have time to examine the diagram thoughtfully
and to go to the meeting tomorrow knowing
our opinions and prepared to express them.
The present structure of C.G. was planned
carefully, year- ago, with a view to establish-
ing a governmental system which would be
democratic and workable. Most important, it
was to be a college government, not just a pow-
erless student government. It was to include
members of the administration, faculty, and
Student body, who would eon-idci roller issues
from all points of view; action, when it was
taken, would be backed not just by the stu-
dents, or just by the administration, but by
the lollege as a whole.
Recently there has been considerable feeling
thai College Government does not adequately
represent the entire college community. Pos-
itively, this feeling lias been evident in direct
criticism of C.G. organization; negatively, it
can be seen in apathy and in frank ignorance
of the member-hip and functions of C.G. organs.
New does nol advocate change simply For
the sake of change. We are in college, after
all, primarily to he educated; we have no time
to spend experimenting with novel systems of
government. And to represent the college gov-
ernment organization as completely unstable
would be ludicrous. We have suggested, how-
ever, aspects of the government which we be-
lieve should be improved. These suggestions,
as well as other, which may come up in dormi-
tory "hash sessions" this evening will provide
a basis for tomorrow's discussion..
Town Meeting" has been called to give the
members of the college an opportunity to say
what they think. Perhaps aftej careful eon-
sideration we will decide that no action needs
to be taken; more probably some alterations
will be found to be in order But whatever
we think, let's -how that we do think.

day perhaps the most conspicu-
ous aspect of our domestic rela-
tions has been the mounting ten-
sion in labor-management rela-
tions. The presen time is a vital
one in our battle of reconversion
and the fight to head off infla-
tions. The present time is a vital
may bring a new wave of re-
quests for increases which would
start an upward motion of wages
and prices and bring on disas-
trous inflation.
Last week labor-management
problems reached an all-time
crisis. After ten weeks of federal
efforts to work out an agreee- !
ment, the deadline for a railroad '
strike was set for five o'clock ;
Saturday afternoon. Then drama-
tically only a few minutes before I
five o'clock the strike order was
rescinded and the strike post-
poned for five days. In addition
there is a possibility of a renewal
of the coal strike and of a walk-
out tentatively set for June in the
shipping industry.
Because of strikes, production
has lagged dangerously. For ex-
ample automobile production
which had been expected to reach
the pre-war rate of 3,577,292 cars
annually by last March was act-
ually at the rate of only 750,000
annually for the week ended
May 11.
Last Friday President Truman
took over the railroads in a last-
minute attempt to avert a strike.
This seizure order came after a
failure of negotiations to settle
a wage dispute between rail-,
roads and two of the most power-
ful raid unions: The Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen and the
Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers.
Slowly last Monday miners be-
gan the trak back to the bitumin-
ous mines under the truce John
L. Lewis had authorized on May
10. Should Mr. Lewis call the
miners out again next Saturday,
there is little question that they
would do his bidding. On Mon-
day there was a note of optimism
I when the mine owners agreed to
, pay three million dollars in back
over-time claimed by the miners.
But on the major union demand—
for a health and welfare fund—
I the stalemate held. Instead of a
ten-cent royalty on each ton of
coal mined, Mr. Lewis asked for
a seven per cent levy on mine
payrolls. Mr. Lewis also insisted
that the fund should be admin-
istered exclusively by the union.
Rejecting Mr. Lewis' demand un-
equivocally the operators called
it "a new social theory and
philosophy" which should be
taken up by public legislative
bodies" rather than by industry.
Even if the operators and the
unions should be able to reach an
agreement on the welfare fund,
the question of wages would re-
main. But what seems most cru-
cial in the present dispute is that
the President has no authority
to force men to return to their
jobs in Government-seized plants.
In Congress there are several
ideas as to strike legislation.
Some seek to amend the Wagner
National Labor Relations Act.
Others insist on more drastic
legislation as for example seek-
ing to outlaw employer payments
to health and welfare funds.
Others are trying to head off any
legislation. At any rate, it seems
vital to our economic future to
find a better formula for resolv-
ing labor-management differ-
ences. We owe it to our returned
service men and to our pledge
to raise the standard of living.

No 1917 "Legenda"?
To the Editor:
es! That is correct. There will
be no Legenda for 1947 unless
Wellesley students agree to back
the 1946 Legenda as they have
always been counted upon to do
in other years. Here are the
facts with which your '46 year
book is confronted:
IDA superior year book on a
far more extravagent scale than
usual for the same price as last
i/'in's book.
(2) 250 copies yet to be sold.
(•'{) A serious financial prob-
lem results from these unsold
books. Let us examine these facts
more closely, in the above order:
(1) The 1946 year book has gone
to the large pre-war size. It has
broken tradition in order to
make this an all-college book
packed with pictures of all four
classes. More organizations are
represented than have been in
the past four years. There is
an original layout system of
both the photographs and the
rial And best of
all.^omething which has nevi I
before been done in the hii ti
of Wellesley year books, tie r<
color! Four colors, in fact. (We
had hoped we would not have to
give away all our surprises.)
And All for ih, Same Price as
last year's modest book: $4.50.
(2 1 Now what is wrong? Last
yeai there were only 900 Legen-
da s to be had, and it was found
necessary to refuse copies to 400
students! This year, to fill this
supposed demand, we ordered
1100 copies, figuring that only
200 girls would be disappointed.
And what happens? We are left
With 250 copies on our hands.
Are we to gather that Well-
was the victim of war psychology
last year? What they couldn't
get they demanded? We can not
understand the lack of orders
this year— especially when it is
so rare these days to get viorc
for your money than before!

on Monday.
Severance Green was trans-
formed into "the far-off jungles
of India, where the days are hot,
the foliage lush; where a wolf,
or cat, or baby hippo means a
wolf and cat and baby hippo;
and where a little boy named
Mowgli lived among the popula-
tion of animals in the forest,
even as one of them."
Most of this jungle atmosphere
was created by the dancing of
Mowgli, Fuzzy Glassenburg '46,
his it "her. Lucy Venable '48. and
his animal friends in the Tree
Day Dance Pageant of Rudyavd
Kipling's "Jungle Book."
After the entrance of the
classes, ■ singing their class
marching songs, Tree Day cere-
monies began with the address
of welcome, given by Nancy
Dunn, president of '46. The en-
entrance of the Freshman Tree
Day Mistress, Grace Gere pre-
ceded the procession of the Se-
nior Tree Day Mistress, Allene
Lummis, and her escort: Marion
Campbell, Elizabeth Eliott, Eliza-
beth SomerviUe, and John O'Con-
nor Strickler.
Mowgli Pageant
The dance pageant opened
with the joyful jungle life of
Mowgli and his friends: Baloor,

Hears Talk by
Dr. MacAllister
Speaking at the Italian Eve-
ning, May 15, in Shakespeare,
Professor A. T. MacAllister of
Princeton University declced
that "Italy stands today as never
■before at the crossroads of her
destiny" and that the United
States can and should help to
shape that destiny.
Professor MacAllister, whose
topic was "Italy and America:
Yesterday, Today, and Tomor-
row," traced the past relation-
ships of the two countries,
.stating that only recently have
they come to any degree of un-
derstanding. In the future, he
said, this understanding must
be broadened in all possible

The Tree Day Ceremonies
ended with the traditional rush
to the freshman class tree, fol-
lowing the ceremony of the
spade. In a short speech on the
green, Dorothy Mott '48 present-
ed the tree spade to the fresh-
man receiver of the spade, Mary
Downing.
The Society Row dances, in-
tended as a climax to the Tree
Day festivities, were held as
dio, books, lectures, and through
the exchange of carefully chosen
representative students.
"We are enjoying our greatest
popularity in Italy now," he
stated, "and the Italian people 1
will be willing and glad to learn
from us." The suffering and sor-
row which were the fruits of
the Fascist experiment have left
Italy weak and faltering, Pro-
fessor MacAllister said. He added
"a relapse to totalitarianism
would be decidedly easier than
the long hard road to self gov-
ernment. Italy must have our
help!"
Professor MacAllister, believ-
ing that Italy would not be the
sole beneficiary in a policy of
close cooperation between Italy
and America, points to Italy's
Freeman, Vice President of Mid- ; long history of cultural contri-
butions. The two countries would
complement each other, he said,
"for Italy's mission has been to
free the world from ignorance.
Our mission is to free the peoples
of the world from political op-
pression."
Following Professor MacAllis-
ter's lecture the Circulo Italiano
presented Luigi Pirandello's one-

College Groups
To Attend ISC
Prague Meeting
Twenty-five students repre-
senting campus and students
organizations throughout the
country will attend the Inter-
national Student Conference in
Prague from August 17 to 31.
The American Preparatory Com-
mittee under the direction of
Alice Horton ''15. is selecting the
delegates and taking charge of
the plans for the conference.
A preliminary conference was
held in November, 1945 in Pra-
gue, where 500 delegates from 51
countries met to discuss the
problems of student exchanges,
student relief, and student re-
sponsibility for keeping the
peace. The need for much closer
cooperation between student or-
ganizations of different countries
for the solving of these prob-
lems, was stressed. The confer-
ence called for this summer will
have as its main task the estab-
lishment of an international stu-
dent organization.
The American Preparatory
Committee is composed of repre-
sentatives of the Student YMCA
and YWCA, B'nai Brith Hillel
Foundations, United States Stu-
dent Assembly, Intercollegiate
Youth for Democracy, Student
Federalists, and the Association
of Internes and Medical Stu-
dents. Seventeen delegates will
represent these organizations,
and the rest will be delegates- at-
large representing campus organ-
izations.
Miss French Tells of Difficulties

by Polly Piatt ' ' t S
"If you don't know what "heavy
as lead' means, you'll soon find
out." announced Miss Hannah D.
French. Research Librarian, to
prospective patrons of the Libe
hand-printing press. Miss French,
who supervises the press, de-
clares that, if nothing else, hand-
printers learn patience.
Although a veteran of two'
years of printing, Miss French
is not invulnerable to "catastro-
phic accidents." Recently she
dropped a whole form of type,
the work of several days, and
watched .t "jumble up in a heap j
on" the floor" — amounting to a ;
printer's version of a "pie."
Wellesley scouts hauled the
press from Chicago after (wo
years of intensive searching. A
true relic of the past, it is exactly
like that used by Benjamin
Franklin except that it is made
of iron instead of wood.
"The whole purpose of the
press," emphasized Miss French,
weary from floods of demands,
"is to give the girls an idea of
what goes into the making of a
book or the Book-Arts." The
Book-Arts laboratory, squeezed
in between the Pierce Memorial
Room and the Modern Langu-
ages Room, is "not to take the
place of a printing shop. The
stress is on the actual process,
and experiencing the mechanics
of the handicraft. The end is not
the finished product."
Rhyme Sheets
From the press are issued the
signs and announcements prom-
inent in the Libe, book plates and ■■
rhyme sheets. The book plates
are really labels, with decorative
borders of all designs, effected
by tiny pieces of type. Copied
from seventeenth century styles,
they have the antiquated aroma |
of elaborate monastic lettering.
David Morton initiated the
Wellesley rhyme sheets. Under
his influence, Margaret Edwards
'46, Susan Dorntge '48, and War-
rene Coleman '47 produced their
poems on these sheets. Miss
French reports that she "strug-
gled with Mr. Morton, pointing
out that twentieth century dead-
lines could not be met on a
seventeenth century press." This
regrettable fact cannot be under-
stood unless one has actually
laboriously sorted the type, ar-
ranged the layout, applied just
the right amount of pressure,
and pumped the grotesque han-
dle of the press. Hands from all
over the libe bustled to prepare
Mr. Morton's rhyme sheets.
Each minute letter must be
put in place. That the paper is
hand-made necessitates first wet-
ting it and then waiting for it i
partially to dry. And then, "an
infinite number of proofs must
be made.'' Miss French recalls
disconcerting readings of "cook"
instead of "book."
Imported Paper
This temperamental paper for
printing is imported from Fa-
briano, Italy, where it has been
turned out by hand since the
thirteenth century. The craft is
know in the United States,
though undertaken in England
and the Continent. Caslon and
Century type are used.
Many history students have
streamed to the Book Arts lab
which contains a small li-
brary of books about binding,
printing, illustrating, and other
Book Arts. To show the possi-
bilities of the field, many ex-
amples of fine printing are dis-
played. Because of a lack of
space, the libe's materials for
binding books by hand cannot
be utilized. *
The libe printing press is not
intended for the Wellesley hur-
rier. But, according to Miss
French, not only printer's ink
but also a great deal of experi-
ence and satisfaction may be
gained from it.

Slavic Society Collects
Books for Polish People
At Recent Club Meeting
Helen Studzimska, Polish vio-
linist, played for the Slavic So-
ciety at an open meeting May 20.
Monday. May 20.
The purpose of the moeting
was to collect textbooks, novels
and dictionaries, for the Poles
who are in desperate need of
every kind of book. If anyone
still has any books that they
could donate, Joan Brailey "47,
President of the Slavic Society,
urges that they give them to
her as soon as possible.
Madame Belinska, a Polish
Wellesley graduate who is now
with the Polish legation, sug-
gested the meeting. During her
visit here a month ago, she ar-
ranged this program for relief
purposes. —
According to Gerda Lewis '48,
Vice-President of the organiza-
tion, Slavic Society hopes to get
Koussevitzky for one of its pro-
grams next year. She also looks
forward to a larger membership
and more activities. While the
Society has a recognized constitu-
tion, it is still in the experimental
stage.
Mr. Henry Schwartz and Mr.
George Lantzeff, of the Depart-
ment of History founded the or-
ganization last year. "Since all
the language courses have social
clubs, representing the main
European countries," said Gerta,
"we thought a Slavic Society was
needed to represent the countries
that are the least understood and
are really extremely important
in world affairs."

♦The Snake Pit'
A 1946 Bedlam
Critic: Deborah Newman '/ f 8
In 16th century: England,
Londoners went to visit the luna-
tics housed in the famous Bed-
lam. Mary Jane Ward, author of
The Snake Pit, takes her readers
on a trip through a modern Bed-
lam. Miss Ward's protagonist,
Virginia Cunningham, spends a
year at Juniper Hill Hospital re-
covering from a mental collapse,
and by cleverly disclosing the
thoughts of her chief character
the author presents the process
of treatment which finally leads
to cure. The result, to say the
least, is astonishing and shock-
ing. The Snuke Pit is not a book
for the squeamish.
One cannot be sure just how
much of Miss Ward's novel was
created from her imagination
and how much is the result of ac-
tual experience. But the picture
conveyed of "a mind that was
on vacation" is quite realistic,
and therefore it can be assumed
that the author has not taken
the liberty of creating the piece
purely according to her . own
fancies.
By setting down the haze
of bewilderment in Virginia's
clouded mind Miss 4Vard has
managed to paint a revealing
portrait of a mentally dis-
eased person. The pathetic ra-
tionalization which Virginia at-
tempts in order to explain her
circumstances, the wanderings
which her mind embarks upon,
aud the transitions into moments
of sanity are extremely well
done.
Satire or Sane
There is a good deal of irony
about these people who are di-
vorced from the ways of the out-
side world. The insane at Juni-
per Hill seem to be completely
without inhibitions. They give
vent to their desires, they see
others as animals, they mimic
unconsciously. They learn to
share with their fellows, a virtue
which gradually departs as they
become cured. At times their ac-
tions appear to be a satire on
supposedly sane persons, and it
is easy to see that the differences
between sanity and insanity are
not so great as one would like
to imagine.
Apparently there is some con-
fusion ' in Miss Ward's actual
opinion of Juniper Hill and the
methods of treatment employed
there. She has taken her title
from the ancient snake pit, into
which primitive peoples lowered
their insane in the hope that the
experiment which drove "a sane
person out of his wits might
Bend an insane person back into
sanity." The title, plus the hor-
rifying conditions which existed
at the hospital might imply that
Miss Ward has intended her book
to be an eye-opener to the vari-
ous institutions which claim to
cure the insane.
Conditions Recorded
But Virginia does become
cured after undergoing such an
ordeal, and she attributes her
final cure not to the sympathetic
doctor who has gently tried to
help her but to the unconcerned

and not a scientist. Miss Ward
has chosen merely to record
rather than to pass judgment. It
seems hard to believe, however,
that the author can condone such
practices as the shock treatment,
"the tubs," the disgusting lack
of facilities, the general harsh-
ness of the staff, and the sick-
ening atmosphere which per-
vades the hospital.
Masterful Writing
Miss Ward has proven herself
to be a keenly observant writer,
with a mastery of detail. She is
able to single out simple yet
vivid items to impress upon the
reader's memory. Her dialogue
is natural, and the suspense she
creates over the process of Vir-
ginia's cure is excellent.
But one must remember that
The Snake Pit is not an accurate
scientific discussion of psychia-
try. It is merely one person's
unique account of the treatment
of psychosis.

ture combined the best features
of the small color sketches.
The largest polychromes were
traced on tissue paper and from
these slides were made. The girls
then projected the slides onto
the beaver board and traced
them. And now, as they balance
on ladders and high stools to
reach murals that hang from the
ceiling and lean on high easels,
they are nearing the end.
Quizzed on why Shafer and
Munger were being so favored,
Diane Hawkes explained that
since they were the two "most
newly decorated dining rooms,
we thought they were the logi-
cal places to put them." This is
the second year that the Art
Composition class has worked
towards a practical objective.
Last year the class painted the
murals which now decorate the
walls of the Well.
Milland, Goddard
Star In 'Kitty'
Critic: Jane Lamb '47
One of the few superior films
that have recently been produced
is Kilty, starring Paulette God-
dard and Ray Milland. Adapted
— quite a bit -from the novel by
Rosamond Marshall, it is the
story of a beggar girl's success
in eighteenth century London.
From every point of view it is an
| excellent and realistic production.
Thomas Gainsborough first
finds Kitty, dressed her as a
lady, and paints a picture that
sets all London agog wondering
who she is. Ray Milland as Sir
Hugh Marcy is enchanted by
Kitty, posing in her costume, but
he is shocked to discover her to
be a "guttersnipe" after all.
However, he gives her a job as
maid, in spite of all his unpaid
bills. Seeing the success of her
portrait, Hugh decides to take
advantage of Kitty's beauty by
training her to be a lady, so that
she can marry the Duke of Mal-
munster. Then Hugh will be able
to regain the job from which the
Duke had fired him.
Marital Problems
Kitty has a great deal of dif-
ficulty learning "society man-
ners," and when she finds out
Hugh's design, she rebels. But
to get Hugh out of debtor's
prison, she marries a wealthy
ironmonger, who pays the debts.
After her husband's death, she
agrees to marry the Duke, for
Hugh's sake. Finding that Hugh
does not appreciate her nor the
sacrifices she has made for him,
she decides to marry young Lord
Carstairs, after the death of the
Duke. Hugh objects at last, and
leaves Kitty to choose between
them.
Although the plot may seem to
resemble that of Pygmalion, act-
ually the emphasis is upon Kitty's
life as a lady rather than upon
the process of her transforma-
tion. The film is enjoyable mere-
ly for the scenes of action, but
these scenes skillfully reveal the
character of Kitty and of Hugh
in such a way that they become

WELLESLEY COLLEGE NEWS, MAY 22, 1916
USSA Passes
Resolution For
Saving Food
Students representing 77 col-
leges and many secondary
schools met in New York City
at the Fourth Annual Conven-
tion of the United States Stu-
dent Assembly from April 26 to
28, and passed a resolution to
aid in combating the world-wide
food crisis. Wellesley delegates,
Michal Ernst, Virginia Beach,
and Virginia Guild attended the
Convention, at which Michal was
elected President of the USSA.
The resolution, passed by the
Convention, is as follows:
Resolution
"Because war and drought
have left in their wake the spec-
tre of mass starvation in Europe
anr 1 Asia; because this country
has not yet fulfilled its food com-
mitments lo these undernour-
ished peoples on the closely
screened minimum diets on
which these commitments were
based; because the American
people are eating nearly twice
as much as their fellow men,
women, and children in other
countries; because the voluntary
program has not proved and can-
not prove adequate; we pledge
that we will strenuously urge
our college administration to fol-
low this food conservation pro-
gram:
1. Serve a famine meal once to
to make college students rea-
lize the terrible inadequacies
of European and Asiatic diets;
2. Cut our consumption of wheat
by 30^0 by observing wheat-
less Tuesdays.
3. Save 10% of fats and oils by
boiling and broiling our food
instead of frying it.
4. Serve less ice cream so more
fluid milk will be available for
canning and export.
"We further sign this pledge
so that along with thousands of
other students we will be repre-
sented in Washington in a stu-
dents' delegation to urge Presi-
dent Truman, Secretary Ander-
son, and the Congress that:
1. A rationing system of these
ciucial commodities be insti-
tuted immediately because it
is now agreed upon by all
that the food shortage will
continue into next year;
2. United States shipment of fats
and oils be increased, by a
10' increased set-aside order;
3. United States export more
fluid mill;;
4. The OPA shall be extended to
prevent black market opera-
tions;
5. A wheatless day be proclaimed.
6. We support UNRRA's activ-
ities.
Organization on Campus
"We further resolve to or-
ganize on our campuses the send-
ing of packages of food to in-
dividuals in hungry countries
and collections of money for the
sending of such packages."
The seventy-seven colleges rep-
resented at the convention are
now canvassing their campuses
in an attempt to get signatures
on the above pledge before Mav
25. On this date, a small group
of students representing USSA
will leave for Washington, where
they will confer with President
Truman, with Secretary of Agri-
New Display
Shows Art
From Italy
Tea sets and a table center
piece of delicate artistry lent by
Muriel Emley '48, are currently
on display in the library.
These pieces were embridered
by the youngsters in 36 or-
phanages that are sponsored
by Scamo Con Vox, a charitable
organization in Italy.
This exhibit, sent to Muriel by
her mother, president of Scamo
Con Voi, represents one of the
phases of handwork and other
trades taught the children to en-
able them to become self sup-
porting. The orphanages, run by
a group of nuns, care for and
teach children from eight to
seventeen. Benefits from sale of
the work are used to buy the
children's clothing, food, house
furnishings, and materials for
sewing.
Native flowers embroidered in
pastel colors on the organdy set
are examples of the creative
ability of Italy. To demonstrate
the continuity of this present
day handwork with that of the
past, the exhibit includes several
illustrations of thirteenth cen-
tury Italian art and an expla-
nation of Italian lace making.

Air Enthusiasts
Describe Their
Flying Lessons
by Carol Remmcr '^8
"There I was, sitting in the
sky, and he said, 'You take over.'
And me with only a half-hour of
flying time!" said Roz Marble
•48, one of the flying Wellesley
students who have been taking
to the air at the Norwood Air-
port, Norwood, Massachusetts.
Roz, weathered out by both wind
conditions and a case of jaundice,
has had only two lessons so far.
Wind, it seems, has a great
deal to do with keeping the
Piper Cubs on the ground as well
as with blowing them away once
they are off the ground. In two
lessons, Roz has learned not only
about wind conditions but such
things as not to taxi straight
down the runway, but to zigzag
back and forth, saying "I can't
see the propeller and would hate
to raise the mortality rate at
the field."
Advancing at this rate, Roz
needs only six more houis before
she solos. At this point, she still
prefers flying when the instruc-
tor, who sits in front of her with
his own separate controls, keeps
his hands down. A violent wav-
ing of his hands means that the
student is on her own, which can
be disconcerting.
Pate is Hopeful
Jane Pate '47, says modestly,
"I haven't progressed, but I will
on my next lesson." Pate, with
three and a half hours so far,
has advanced to stalls (power
on and off), take-offs, and land-
ings. She plans to complete her
lessons at home. Pate thinks fly-
ing over Massachusetts at a
speedy 60 m.p.h. is fine, but is
confused by the use of lakes as
landmarks since there are three
lakes near the airport.
Pate admits that she gets air-
sick and uses Mother Sills' Air-
sick pills as a remedy. The pills
make her even sicker, but Pate
is valiant. The only thing she
really complains about is that
her arm has developed a major
Charley horse. Wellesley has only j
taught her how to pull back on a i
pencil instead of on a stiff control |
stick. Stick and throttle working
and pull, Pate's instructor is still
recovering from the last lesson
when, instead of pushing the
throttle in all the way, she pulled
it out and killed the engine.
Jane, Roz, Ellen Watson "47,
Alive Cox '46 and Lois Haldi-
mand '47 are among those tak-
ing lessons at Norwood Field
where flying instruction is $12
per hour and a flat rate of $98
is the price of soloing. For a
license, one must have ten hours
of dual flying and 30 hours of
solo.
Sally Gamble '48, has six and
a half hours of flying* credit at
the Wiggins Airport in Norwood.
Sally says that "It's all so simple
when you think the instructor
is handling the controls, but it
becomes awfully hard when
you're on your own."
First Landing
"I'll never forget my first land-
ing," said Sally. "You go through
all the motions of 500 feet and
then try it on the ground. I was
so busy levelling off that I didn't
realize I was still ten feet off
the ground. It's amazing how
hard and bumpy a smooth run-
way can be!"

Float Night, especially those
who have worked so hard on it,
Marie Vallance '47, Head of
Float Night, announces that she
hopes very much to see the
same floats and preparations
used next year.
Because there were no senior
floats entered, m this idea could
be carried out very smoothly
next year, Val pointed out. All
the Hansel and Gretel floats
have been stored away for fu-
ture use.
Val declared that the college
could not afford to give Float
Night this year. By calling it
off. the college was able to pre-
vent a financial loss by collect-
ing the insurance which would
not have held for any other
nights but Friday and Saturday.

the central interest.
The actors are extremely well
chosen, and even surpass what is
expected of them. Miss Goddard
interprets the character of Kitty
as if she knew what she was
talking about, and Milland is al-
most equally familiar with the
role of the dissipated aristocrat.
Constance Collier as Lady Susan
is especially commendable.
The dialogue is often actually
witty, a rare accomplishment in
movies these days. The individual
scenes are also very well done:
such as the Duke eagerly going
through the succession of ante-
chambers to see his new-born
son, and Lady Susan teaching
Kitty how to fan "angrily."
The music, costumes and set-
tings.are likewise very good. The
one fault is that the settings in-
clude too much; nothing Is left to
the imagination. But the film is
a fascinating record of eighteenth
century art, decorations, and cos-
tumes.

a wild downward spin, during
which she "blacked out" to the
point of being unable to pull the
stick. "We went down and down
and the instructor just sat
there." said Sally. "He finally
pulled us out, telling me that I
should now know just what to
avoid. You find out in a hurry!"
Flying is not only gay, but the
girls with wings (Piper Cub,
that is) say there's a future in
it. Roz Marble expects to have
a plane by her senior year and
do some week-end commuting to
Philadelphia. Jane Pate says
that her only purpose in getting
a license "is to return to Welles-
ley with a bomber." From that,
we draw our own conclusions.
"Besides," says Pate, "it's a good
excuse for wearing jeans."
Madt moisellc's Fiction Contest 1 **
Susan Kuehn '47 bounded marto
up to the third floor of Shaft
to yell the good news t J
t "i [ends, found the hall desert^
ran back downstairs and told ^
only girls she could -find-
waitresses!
Sue had every reason to be _
cited, for the call from the niags
zine climaxed a week of startling
developments for her. But firjj
let's get the facts in order ^
that the events of May 1J.J
make sense:
In the autumn of 1944 Sue, Hkfj
many other ambitious g| r ]j
started a lengthy try-out poi-iojj
for the College Board of iiforf CBl ,
oiselle. But unlike the majority
of said girls, Sue became Fiction
Editor of last August's Collegi
Board issue. That was the begii
ning of a friendship with the per
sonnel of the magazine, part icy
larly George Davis, Fiction Edi
tor.
In December Sue sent
Davis three stories which he crit
icized for her. T^hen this Mart
Mademoiselle called, suggestiri]
that she send in to the annua

they wired me in Minneapoli
saying the story had been mi<
placed and could 1 please sen

brought the story home with m
for parental criticism. Otherwis

All of which brings us up
the evening of Monday, May lfl
when Mademoiselle called Sue
asking her to work with ihera
this summer as assistant asso
ciate editor. ("That's actual!

plained Sue. "I'll have to con

Sue confessed.
So she telegraphed her famil]

Then last Thursday afternooj
Sue came home to find anothej

i New York. "I was certain the jofcl
I was all off. While I waited fa
the call to come through, I men

Instead, the caller informed
Sue she had won the fiction cod
test and added, "How are yoi
coming along with your fath
and mother?"
Sue confessed she was in a daJ*
— though she remembered to a
trieve her nickel. All of which
now brings us back to the open

Around the Vil Student's Aid
Hi there! BifVsing around
the Vil this week we discovered
the most original assortment of
summer play clothes just in at
Gross Strauss. For bike riding,
hiking, or lounging, nothing is
newer or more comfortable than
Gross Strauss's mountain climb-
ers' in green, brown, and navy.
Wear these with bright suede
ciclla— jersey shirts. If you are
planning a summer by the surf
the ideal outfit is blue denim
"clam-diggers" ana tomboy
shirts.
Do we hear wedding bells
ringing? It's not far till June.
You happy brides-to-be will be
glad to know Makhanna's, the
trouseau shop, has a few hard-to-
grt bridal sets— sneer organza
and chiffon with lace and taffeta
appliques.
Candlewick Cabins has asked
us to tell you that they are
closed on Saturdays and Mon-
days.
For last minutes appointments,
split-second connections at the
station, or for leisurely driving,
call College Taxis.
It took a long time coming—
you Southern gals will agree-
but warm weather is here at
last. And with it comes all the
bathing suit, playtogs, and
Hill and Dale new cottons. For
dresses, you will find all you
want here.
The Trains may ignore us here
at Wellesley. but Le Blanc Taxis
never. For their dependable serv-
ice call WELlesley 1600.
Happy shopping!

Gives Clothes
Students' Aid Society is con-
stantly receiving clothes and
shoes from interested alumnae
and friends of the college, to be
given to girls receiving scholar-
ship aid. According to Society
officers, the clothes closet is
"bulging with attractive evening
gowns, dinner dresses, afternoon,
sport and day clothes in various
sizes."
The Society would like to find
new owners for these clothes be-
fore vacation. Interested stu-
dents are asked to call at 344
Green Hall any day Monday
through Friday from 9:30 to 4.

than any faculty tardiness: grad-
ing for effort. The student who
has done her honest and intelli-
gent best, who has spent an
average of two hours of careful
study and active, brain-stirring
thought on each lesson in a
course, should receive, be she
bright or be she dim, an A. The
one who troops out to the sun
deck proclaiming that she just
can't possibly get her paper
done, interrupts her conversa-
tion from time to time to type
a few words, and after half an
hour wanders off to the Well (I
watched a Senior do it the other
day), would get, from me, an F.
Those who spend time but no
thought would rate a D. The
others would range in between.
The real beauty of this system
lies in something definitely
new and revolutionary: the stu-
dent could grade herself. Obvi-
ously she would know much bet-
ter than anyone else how much
attention and thought she had
put into her studying. And she
could report the grades to her-
self at whatever intervals
seemed most vital to her career;
two weeks, a month, two months.
. . . And thus there would be a
general saving to the academic
world of time, newsprint, and
bitterness.

Grade Thyself
To the Editor:
To the Neivs's bitter remarks
on faculty procrastination there
are various possible replies,
ranging from a shamed hanginp
of the head to proud defiance
(Assuming, of course, that onl..
the guilty would reply > I
should like to beg the issue
completely by offering a counter
proposal for the consideration
of the student body.
Since the students' interest is
obviously in grades, and not in
collections, comment, or rebut-
tal, (how many students read
the corrections before sliding a
returned paper into their note
books? How many refrain from
making a mistake a second
time?) I wish to suggest a very
simple, system of grading which
may prove much m 'influen-
tial . upon a student's career"
Friends Service
Hospital Units
A program designed to give
college-aged students an oppor-
tunity to serve In mental hospi-
tals, discover the overall and in-
dividual needs of the mentally
ill, and work with them to learn
methods of helping them is be-
ing offered by the Institutional
Service Units of the American
Friends Service Committee. 20
South Twelfth street, Philadel-
phia. 7, Pennsylvania.
Participants in the program
will receive board and room,
maintenance and laundry, and
the prevailing wages of about
$70 a month or more.
Classes in mental illness and
patient care and psychiatric lec-
tures on the development of
prognosis and behavior patterns
are offered.
Unit members live in group-
housing accommodations with
rooms for as many as three per-
sons. Assistant Directors are in
each unit for counseling and
work guidance. An A. F. S. C.
representative is also available
for educational contacts.
Three hospitals and one wom-
en's reformatory are included —
Rockland State Hospital, Orange-
burg, N. Y.; Philadelphia State
Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa.; and
New Jersey State Hospital,
Trenton, N. J.
Emotional stability, maturity,
good judgment, intelligence, and
understanding of the needs of
others are qualities needed for
this social work. All those inter-
ested should write to Phoebe
Bailey at the American Friends
Service Committee's Institution-
al Service Units Headquarters,
20 South Twelfth street, Phila-
delphia, 7, Pennsylvania.
Service Fund
Pledges Unpaid
Unpaid Service Fund pledges
totalling $$2972.71, over one fifth
obligations, according to Kathy
of the total pledges last fall,
must be paid by next Monday,
May 20, if Wellesley is to meet its
"We still have pledges to
Thayer '47, head of Service Fund,
worthy organizations both here
and abroad, including large
amounts to war relief organiza-
tions, which are needed there im-
mediately," said Kathy, pointing
out as an example of the appre-
ciation with which apropriations
which are received a letter writ-
ten March 29 by Ismene Audon-
ios Phylactopoulos, Wellesley
1927.
"I was very much interested in
a clipping from the Christian
Science Monitor," writes Mrs.
Phylactopoulos, "a Wellesley girl
wearing a sandwich board adver-
tising the campaign for Athens
College on the campus. ... I
know that each dollar subscribed
to the schools of Greece is of
greater importance than even
food.
"During the war our Athens
College boys stood out in every
service and on every occasion
because they'd been given the
chance in this school to develop
just the needed qualities. When
we get discouraged about the fu-
ture, we get a great deal of com-
fort out of the thought that
there is still education through
which this country can be re-
built. . . ."
